    Episode 2: Reading Into Little Free Libraries

    Book exchanges have been around pretty much forever, but then in 2012 a movement was born. Now, hundreds of thousands of boxes filled with books are permanently affixed to people’s properties. Some love them, some cannot abide them. Some don’t get what the fuss is about. And from these premises was born an unironic investigation into a moral dilemma of questionable stakes: are little free libraries something we should be concerned about? And, why are they so popular, still? Show notes Jane Schmidt and Jordan Hale’s open-access article can be found on the Journal of Radical Librarianship website.Little Free Library founder Tod Bol on Schmidt and Hale’s paper. A link to Dan and Trina’s book bombing Facebook GroupThe West Howe Sound Story, by Francis J.

    TRAILER: Reading Into Little Free Libraries

    About a year ago, Sophie tried to find out whether she made a regretful mistake installing a Little Free Library outside her home after learning from a friend of a friend that actually not all librarians are fans. It was a strange one: why would librarians put the shush on little libraries? Why are book exchanges even popular enough for librarians to have opinions about them? And so the journey began...

    Episode 1: Salvaging The Beachcombers

    Ever heard of The Beachcombers? If not, you were probably born after 1990. If you have, then, well, you’re old.  Kidding! Sort of. The Beachcombers aired on CBC Television from 1972 to 1990, making it arguably Canada’s longest running scripted television series, ever. (Degrassi is the other contender.) For some reason only the gods understand, CBC hasn’t run an episode since Dec. 12, 1990. In the inaugural episode of COASTERS, producer Sophie Woodrooffe looks at the show’s impact on a town that will forever be attached to The Beachcombers, whether it wants to be, or not.  Editorial, sound and technical assistance from CANADALAND’s Jonathan Goldsbie and Tristan Capacchione Intro and outro music by Blue Dot Sessions Podcast cover art and website design by Laura Service Hosted on Acast.
